Yankees Fans Feeling Cheated by Pavano

Updated July 22, 2009 5:50 a.m. ET

Here’s another reason some Yankees fans resent pitcher Carl Pavano. If the Cleveland Indians’ righty wins his start Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, it will be his ninth win of the year. That’s as many as he earned in four years pitching—or not pitching—for the Yankees while collecting about $38 million. Over his career in pinstripes, Mr. Pavano made just 26 appearances between 2005-08. So far, he’s made 18 this year with the Indians, albeit with a 5.13 ERA.
